+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] BUILD: ssl: fix build error introduced in commit 7969a3
+ with OpenSSL < 1.0.0
+
+The function 'EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid()' was introduced in OpenSSL
+1.0.0. So for older version of OpenSSL, compiled with the SNI support, the
+HAProxy compilation fails with the following error:
+
+src/ssl_sock.c: In function 'ssl_sock_do_create_cert':
+src/ssl_sock.c:1096:7: warning: implicit declaration of function 'EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid'
+   if (EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(capkey, &nid) <= 0)
+[...]
+src/ssl_sock.c:1096: undefined reference to `EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid'
+collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
+Makefile:760: recipe for target 'haproxy' failed
+make: *** [haproxy] Error 1
+
+So we must add a #ifdef to check the OpenSSL version (>= 1.0.0) to use this
+function. It is used to get default signature digest associated to the private
+key used to sign generated X509 certificates. It is called when the private key
+differs than EVP_PKEY_RSA, EVP_PKEY_DSA and EVP_PKEY_EC. It should be enough for
+most of cases.
